'Corteo' tells story about a clown

The three performers on Wednesday also wore clown makeup, which fits in with the storyline of "Corteo."

The Cirque du Soleil production features a tale about Mauro, a clown who dies but his spirit remains. Instead of being a dismal affair, Mauro's funeral procession is a celebration and a parade that celebrates life, according to Cirque du Soleil's website.
